"Hope's Anthem" lyrics
(performed with William Matthews)
He's awakening the hope in me
By calling forth my destiny
He's breathing life into my soul
I will thirst for Him, and Him alone
He has come like the rain
That showers on the barren plain
So my heart and tongue confess
Jesus Christ, the hope of man
My hope is in You, God
I am steadfast, I will not be moved
I'm anchored, never shaken
All my hope is in You
He's awakening the hope in me
By calling forth my destiny
He's breathing life into my soul
And I will thirst for Him, and Him alone
He has come like the rain
That showers on the barren plain
So my heart and tongue confess
Jesus Christ, hope of man
My hope is in You, God
I am steadfast, I will not be moved
And I'm anchored, never shaken
All my hope is in You
When my hope is in You, God
I am steadfast, I will not be moved
And I'm anchored, never shaken
All my hope is in You
He's bringing hope to the hopeless
And giving His heart to the broken
And sharing His home with the orphan
He is the joy, He is my joy
He is the hope of the nations
The Father's heart we're embracing
And He is the song we're declaring
He is the joy, He is my joy
He's bringing hope to the hopeless
And giving His heart to the broken
And sharing His home with the orphan
He is the joy, He is my joy
He is the hope of the nations
The Father's heart we're embracing
He is the song we're declaring
He is the joy, He is my joy
Hope arise
Let hope arise, let hope arise
Let hope arise, let hope arise
Let hope arise, let hope arise
Let hope arise, let hope arise
And my hope is in You, God
I am steadfast, I will not be moved
I'm anchored, never shaken
All my hope is in You
And my hope is in You, God
I am steadfast, I will not be moved
(And) I'm anchored, never shaken
All my hope is in You
By calling forth my destiny
He's breathing life into my soul
I will thirst for Him, and Him alone
He has come like the rain
That showers on the barren plain
So my heart and tongue confess
Jesus Christ, the hope of man
My hope is in You, God
I am steadfast, I will not be moved
I'm anchored, never shaken
All my hope is in You
He's awakening the hope in me
By calling forth my destiny
He's breathing life into my soul
And I will thirst for Him, and Him alone
He has come like the rain
That showers on the barren plain
So my heart and tongue confess
Jesus Christ, hope of man
My hope is in You, God
I am steadfast, I will not be moved
And I'm anchored, never shaken
All my hope is in You
When my hope is in You, God
I am steadfast, I will not be moved
And I'm anchored, never shaken
All my hope is in You
He's bringing hope to the hopeless
And giving His heart to the broken
And sharing His home with the orphan
He is the joy, He is my joy
He is the hope of the nations
The Father's heart we're embracing
And He is the song we're declaring
He is the joy, He is my joy
He's bringing hope to the hopeless
And giving His heart to the broken
And sharing His home with the orphan
He is the joy, He is my joy
He is the hope of the nations
The Father's heart we're embracing
He is the song we're declaring
He is the joy, He is my joy
Hope arise
Let hope arise, let hope arise
Let hope arise, let hope arise
Let hope arise, let hope arise
Let hope arise, let hope arise
And my hope is in You, God
I am steadfast, I will not be moved
I'm anchored, never shaken
All my hope is in You
And my hope is in You, God
I am steadfast, I will not be moved
(And) I'm anchored, never shaken
All my hope is in You
